"After all, we cannot know what we are going to express. What is really creative is bound to be a surprisebecause it is something we couldn't have thought of. This is the thing that we resist the most. We want toknow where we are going, why we are doing it, and what it is going to give to us. We want to know it all.To be creative means becoming more familiar with being a little lost. If we are always full of what wewant to do, there is no room for the new."- Michell Cassou

Art Quilts: Methods to the Madness II

Art Quilts: Methods to the Madness II; Where do I go from here?
In this class you will take the fabric you started in Methods I and transform it to a new level. Becoming aware of the dialog between you and your emerging piece, you will work with rulers, templates, curves and free form, to explore various ways to bring your continually changing piece in and out of, what you consider to be, a logical place. The techniques from Methods I will be re-emphasized and creativity and exploration will be the focus of the class. Plan on being a little out of control. The emphasis is on taking risks and emergence. Let's see what happens!
